Now, after a year of slowly working through the city red tape, the proposed restaurant will have to go to a sub-committee of the Board of Supervisors in January, thanks to the recent complaints from neighbors who would like to dictate what goes on public land.

The good news is that the Rec and Park Department unanimously approved the deal; the business is expected to generate over $100K for the city; and over 1,000 area residents support it. The bad news is that this is San Francisco where single voices can stop small businesses. And at this point, even if it is approved, construction might not be complete in time to open for America’s Cup next summer.

Since San Franciscans seem intent on dedicating energy to issues like this, here are some other things that these angry residents should protest instead:

Apple Maps.

MUNI “schedule”

Gangnam Style Youtube parodies.

Potholes.

#bigmayo

Jar Jar Binks.

War, crime, drugs, drunk driving, world hunger, corruption, and you know, other things that actually are important.
